Vegans in The Camp!

[coloradoclyde]

I don't think your statements are valid and the reason vegans might only marry vegans isn't because of religion....it's because of mutual flatulence toleration.

:rotf:

Any assumption that meat eaters don't have bad gas, is ludicrous....

Part of the problem with Flatulence among "vegans" is the fallacy that you have to eat beans in order to get enough protein....
HOGWASH!
Beans and other legumes are very difficult to digest....And will certainly contribute to gas production in most people.....But to blame bad gas solely on a vegan diet, grossly misunderstands the human digestive system....
Gas is produced by the microbes in our digestive system.....everyone's is different.
There are many factors that influence flatulence....Diet, water, health, medications, antibiotics, geographic location, ethnicity, pets, hygiene, Etc...................................

Vegan food may have been a contributing factor in your designer's "bad gas" particularly if he just became a vegan....But it could have easily been any number of other things.....

I'm sure there are certain things that give you noxious "wind".... :haha:

Seeing you're an expert on "vegan gas" and it's causes, I'll concede and move on. But....I'll bet that monthly meetings of vegans have very few non-vegans attending....for obvious reasons....whew!....Fred

Not an expert!...Also not a vegan. Also not aware of "monthly meetings" :shocked2:
Why would non-vegans attend a vegan meeting????
The only reason I can see vegans having meetings, would be to exchange recipes.....

Your designer friend (and only vegan experience1)...probably had some kind of digestive disorder which would explain both his vegan choice and the bad gas.....

RE: vegans and gas, Adolph Hitler was a vegetarian (not a vegan) and had "monumental" flatulence problems according to his doctor. His flatulence was the subject of much discussion in other settings where it was safe to do so outside the Third Reich, and his doctor, Morel, I believe, tried to treat his condition but never quite made Adolph fart-free. I don't know if this is particular to bean consumption, apparently Hitler had the best of diets with fresh veggies, or maybe all vegetarian diets do this.

He was also a drug addict....which affects the liver and other organs essential to digestion...

How Adolf found his way into this discussion is disappointing.... :shake:

 

[Gene L]

I'm still wondering how flatulence found a way into this discussion. Don't look at me.

Excellent point.. :hmm:
